Eco Print Cards 2

Welcome!

I hope you're having a good day and getting through this

difficult time with good health.
Today I have a couple more cards that I made

from some of my eco-prints.

This one was done the same way the 2 in my last post

were done, using the masterboard as my background

and the eco-print as the focal point.

This one was a single leaf that I loved,

it is pretty light, but in real life you can see it a little

better.  I wet the paper a bit around the leaf and

tore around it to give an organic feel.

The background piece is hand made paper that

I had used some bronze and gold inks to color.

I'm glad you stopped in today for a visit and

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until next time:

Stay safe, stay healthy!

Eco Print Cards 1

Hi crafty people!

Today I have some cards to show you that I

made with some eco-prints that I made.

Last fall I decided to give eco-printing a try.

I really enjoyed making the prints and seeing how

different leaves and flowers turned out.

I can't wait to give some flowers a try this summer.

I used my heat press to do these,

HERE is a video on the process.

If you don't have a heat press or don't want to

use it for this, just search eco-printing on YouTube

there are lots of videos out there to help you.

I cut the pages that I made into pieces featuring 

some of the prints I like the best.

The background layer is from a "masterboard" 

that I made a couple months ago.

This one was done with all the same supplies,

but I did ink up the edges with some 

Antique Linen Distress Ink.

This one I chose to add a small strip from a

background that I had in my stash, adding a little

color to the card.

I have a lot more eco-prints in my stash and

will be making more projects with them soon. 
Some as focal points and some as backgrounds.

I hope you'll come back and see what I come up with.

Thanks for stopping in today and spending a little

time with me.  I hope you will look up eco-printing and

maybe give it a try.

Until next time;

Try something new!

Alcohol Ink "Flower" cards

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all staying safe and healthy.

I've been home for about a month now,

I haven't really been motivated to do much in the

line of crafting, but every now and then I

sit down and get some things done.

I decided to take out my stash of backgrounds

and such and make some cards to send out to some 

of my family and friends.
Thought getting something in the mail,

other than bills, might bring a smile to their faces.

Here are a few of the cards I made from some

alcohol ink "flowers" that I had in my stash.

Silver card stock with alcohol inks.

I believe this one was done on photo paper.

Again, done on photo paper.

I hope these cards put a smile on someones face.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I'll be sharing more of the little projects I've

been doing, so be sure to stop back again soon.

Until then:

Stay safe, Stay healthy!

Mandalorian Gear

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

My son was having a bad time one day 

a couple weeks ago and Sara wanted to cheer him up.

She came over and we made a couple things 

that would make him smile.

I know it's hard to see in this picture, but those

are actually a pair of black sweat pants.

Sara and I cut out a Mandalorian helmet

from heat transfer vinyl for the sweats.

I also cut out the baby Yoda from HTV for 

a onesie for Marie.

We loved how they turned out and Jaryd loved

them too.

Later I got a message from Sara that we need to

make another pair of sweat pants for one of

their friends. Don't mind doing that at all.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you are staying healthy and happy.

Come again soon,

until then

Happy Crafting!

#SQUADGOALS

Hello all you crafty people!

Today I'm showing you a shirt that my 

daughter in law and I made.

Her friend was taking her daughter to 

Sesame Street Live 

and wanted a shirt for her to wear.

This is what Sara and I came up with.

We cut all the characters from heat transfer vinyl

and adhered them with my heat press.

We love how it turned out and I hope her friend did too.

I'm not sure they got to the show, or if it was cancelled

because of the virus outbreak, but either way

I think she will love wearing this shirt.

Thanks for stopping by today,

hope you are doing well.

Come again soon,

until then,

Stay safe, stay healthy!
